02 — THE BASICS

What is the +229 country code?

Benin was assigned +229 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Since 2020 Benin has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 10 digits beginning with 01, dialed in full.

ITU zone 2 West Africa

Benin uses the +229 country code, placing it in ITU zone 2 alongside its West African neighbours — Nigeria +234, Togo +228, Ghana +233, Côte d'Ivoire +225 + Niger +227. Benin sits on the Gulf of Guinea between Togo + Nigeria, with French as its official language + Fon + Yoruba as major national languages.

ARCEP-regulated

Benin's telecom sector is regulated by ARCEP Benin (Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et de la Poste). Three carriers serve the market: MTN Benin (the largest), Moov Africa Benin (Maroc Telecom group) + Celtiis (Benin Telecoms, the state operator). Mobiles run on the 01 9X + 01 6X ranges; 4G is widely deployed.

No area codes — 10 digits

In 2020 Benin prepended 01 to every phone number in the country, moving from 8 digits to a uniform 10-digit closed plan. Every Benin number — landline or mobile — now begins with 01 and is dialed in full: there are no area codes + no separate trunk prefix. The leading 01 is part of the number, never dropped.

DID YOU KNOW

Benin is the birthplace of Vodun. The religion that became "Voodoo" in the Americas originated here, and Benin was the seat of the powerful Kingdom of Dahomey — whose royal palaces of Abomey are a UNESCO World Heritage site and whose all-female Dahomey Amazons (the Agojie) inspired the film "The Woman King".

Ouidah holds deep slave-trade memory at the Door of No Return, and Ganvié — the lake-stilt village near Cotonou — is called "the Venice of Africa". Beninese banks + mobile money (MTN MoMo, Moov Money) verify with +229 mobile OTPs.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Benin phone number in international format is written as +229 01 NN NN NN NN — always exactly 10 digits beginning with 01. Example: +229 01 96 12 34 56 for a mobile, +229 01 21 12 34 56 for a Cotonou-area landline. Benin numbers are grouped in pairs for readability.

Because Benin uses a closed 10-digit plan with no area codes + no trunk prefix, the leading 01 is simply part of the number — you always dial all 10 digits, both domestically + internationally. Mobiles begin with 01 9X or 01 6X; landlines begin with 01 2X. Old 8-digit Benin numbers no longer work.

Want to call Benin from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including Benin — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 229, then all 10 digits including the leading 01. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. Never drop a digit — the 01 is not a trunk code.

04 — COVERAGE

Where a +229 number reaches.

From the Cotonou waterfront to the royal palaces of Abomey, every Benin number lives behind a +229 — all 10 digits, starting 01, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in Benin.

10 — ANSWERS

Frequently asked.

What is the country code for Benin?

The country code for Benin is +229. It is the international dialing prefix used to call any phone number in Benin — landline or mobile — assigned by the ITU. Benin sits in ITU zone 2 alongside Nigeria +234, Togo +228, Ghana +233 + Niger +227.

Why is +229 the country code for Benin?

The +229 country code was assigned to Benin by the ITU — placing it in ITU zone 2, which covers Africa. Benin +229, Togo +228 + Nigeria +234 form part of the West African Gulf-of-Guinea numbering bloc.

Why do all Benin phone numbers now start with 01?

In 2020, Benin reformed its numbering plan by prepending 01 to every phone number in the country, moving from 8 digits to a uniform 10-digit plan. So every Benin number now begins with 01 and is exactly 10 digits long. This is frequently misunderstood — the old 8-digit Benin numbers no longer work, and the leading 01 is part of the number, not a trunk or area code.

How do I call Benin from the US?

From the US, dial 011 (NANP exit code), then 229, then all 10 digits of the Benin number including the leading 01. Example: 011 229 01 96 12 34 56 for a mobile, or 011 229 01 21 12 34 56 for a Cotonou landline. On any mobile, replace 011 with +. Never drop a digit — the 01 is part of the number.

How do I call Benin from the UK?

From the UK, dial 00 (UK exit code), then 229, then all 10 digits including the leading 01. Example: 00 229 01 96 12 34 56 for a Benin mobile. Or use +229 01 96 12 34 56 from any UK mobile.

How do I call Benin from France?

From France, dial 00 (France exit code), then 229, then all 10 digits including the leading 01. Example: 00 229 01 96 12 34 56. France hosts a large Beninese diaspora, so France-Benin is one of the heaviest +229 routes.

How do I call Benin from Nigeria?

From Nigeria, dial 009 (Nigeria exit code), then 229, then all 10 digits including the leading 01. Example: 009 229 01 96 12 34 56. Benin shares its eastern border with Nigeria, so cross-border calling is constant.

How do I write a Benin phone number with country code?

A Benin phone number in international format is written as +229 01 NN NN NN NN — always exactly 10 digits beginning with 01, grouped in pairs. Example: +229 01 96 12 34 56 for a mobile, +229 01 21 12 34 56 for a Cotonou landline.

Does Benin have area codes?

No. Benin uses a closed 10-digit numbering plan with no area codes. Since the 2020 reform, every Benin number — landline + mobile — is exactly 10 digits beginning with 01, dialed in full with no trunk prefix + no area code. There is no leading 0 to add or drop — the 01 is simply part of the number, the same from Cotonou, Parakou or abroad.

Why do Benin numbers start with 01?

In 2020 Benin added 01 to the front of every number nationwide, standardising the country on a single uniform 10-digit format. The 01 is not an area code + not a trunk prefix — it is the fixed opening of every Benin number. After the 01 come 8 more digits: mobiles use 9X or 6X (so 01 9X / 01 6X), landlines use 2X (so 01 2X).

What are Cotonou + Porto-Novo phone numbers?

Benin has no area codes, so neither Cotonou nor Porto-Novo has a dedicated dialing prefix. Porto-Novo is Benin\'s official capital, while Cotonou is the largest city, economic capital + seat of government. Landlines in both begin with 01 2X as part of the 10-digit number, e.g. +229 01 21 12 34 56. Numbers are non-geographic + dialed in full.

What is +229 800 used for?

+229 800 is the Benin toll-free range — calls are free for the caller; the business pays. Used by Beninese banks, mobile-money providers (MTN, Moov, Celtiis), utilities + larger businesses for customer-service lines. Like every Benin number, toll-free numbers are part of the 10-digit closed plan.

What is the time zone of Benin?

Benin runs on West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) all year round, with no daylight saving time. The clock never changes. Same time zone as Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon + much of Central Africa — and only one hour ahead of the UK in winter (the same as the UK in summer).

Can I get a Benin virtual phone number from outside Benin?

Yes. CallMama issues a real Benin +229 number from anywhere with internet access — no Benin address required, no in-person KYC. You get a full 10-digit Benin number beginning with 01, live in about 60 seconds — ideal for diaspora, business + mobile-money verification.

Is +229 the same as 00229?

Yes — they mean the same Benin country code, written different ways. +229 is the ITU-T E.123 international format. 00229 is the manual form: 00 + 229. After it, dial all 10 digits including the leading 01.

What is 117 in Benin?

In Benin, 117 is the police emergency number + 118 reaches the fire service (sapeurs-pompiers). These short codes are dialed directly without the +229 country code. For international callers, the +229 number applies only to standard 10-digit phone numbers, not to emergency short codes.
